Our Story

Why the name Wash + Wik? We started out as a small soap and candle company — Wash for soap and Wik for candles. As we’ve grown, candles have become the heart of what we do, but our collection has expanded far beyond our early beginnings. Today, we craft not only hand-poured candles but also reed diffusers, room sprays, wax melts, and yes — we still make our signature soaps!

How We Started

Gary and Ariel (husband and wife) dreamt up Wash and Wik while poolside on a mini vacation in 2018. Ariel said she wanted to start making soaps and candles as a hobby, and in typical Gary fashion, a few days later, a logo was created, and Wash and Wik were born.

Soon, soap was being handcrafted, and candles were being hand-poured. Ariel personally hand-blends every scent for their premium soy wax candles, soaps, reed diffusers, room sprays, essential oils, and wax melts.  Drawing on her expertise as a Certified Sommelier (yes, a professional "wine nerd"), Ariel creates unique and captivating fragrances. She carefully selects and combines essential and fragrance oils from their trusted partners to ensure each scent is perfectly balanced.

Hand-poured with love in Orlando, Florida, they are proud of every single product created thus far, and every one of them is unique to Wash and Wik. They have chosen quality over quantity, which is reflected in the ingredients in their products.
